Playing at night? You bet

The high school soccer schedules have been posted (expect the usual flurry of changes the closer we get to opening day in early September), and one trend is clear:

More night games.

With a new turf field at Oxford, and nice facilities across the region, the temptation is to move as many games as possible to the evening. That’s nice, but gosh that 6:30 p.m. start on Oct. 25 seems cold.

And interestingly, the percentage of night games for the boys is higher than that for the girls.
